This is pretty cool! Wish I was in England... "For a limited time only, individuals visiting The Royal Mint Experience will have the opportunity to strike their very own 2019 dated 50p ‘New Pence’ Brilliant Uncirculated coin – currently the only place customers can purchase it as a single coin." http://blog.greysheet.com/visit-royal-mint-strike-your-own-2019-50p-new-pence-coin/
Maybe, but the cynic in me would think it was yet another Royal Mint marketing gimmick designed to relieve the public of their hard-earned. £6.90 for a currency 50p? £8.90 if you want a second one? Do me a favour...
